    I think "rice rocket" is the politically correct term.

    Kudos for helping that old lady out. A certain contingent has made being “woke” and being a “social justice warrior” something negative but in reality it’s something that any decent human being should strive to be.

    Everyone has to take their own trash out to the curb in front of the single wide.

    I don’t understand. He does sound like a real asshole, but I fail to see how this was racism.
    He could behave this way to everyone who causes him distress.

    It's a souped up little Honda or Toyota driven by a 20-something aggressively with a stereo that's too loud.

    Ahhh, gotcha thanks. I've lived in FL long enough (including migrant communities) to be familiar with that ride. Those cars were everywhere when I lived near Tampa. We don't see 'em so much up here in northern MN.

    Just the way he dressed down that lady then eventually called me a social Justice warrior even though I never said or implied anything about race. Obviously he clearly knew she was black and it was at the top of his mind. Not that I’m going to berate somebody for no reason in any case, I’d be less likely to with a black person because I don’t want them to view me as racist nor do I want to view myself as racist.

    Maybe, just maybe, in TX, a middle age beer bellied blue collar white male, with a ZZ Top beard, berates a harmless polite black female, and then calls her defender a social Justice warrior and in spite of it is just a “libbie” having a bad day. You be the judge.

    For some reason, I thought you live in NC. Are you in TX? If yes, where? I lived in Denton for a few years back in the 90s.

    Between the abortion and other laws, this kind of idiocy everywhere and the 100 degree plus heat every damn day I’d be happy to get the hell out of TX, but that isn’t likely because my wife has a good job there.

    Boom... and it took you this long to hate the "white" man for this one idiots actions... Typical... That guy is an A-hole from what you said, but you also said that you were worked up from some other previous event, so...

    Do you really think this guy cared that she was not white? Or the color of her skin? Or was this guy just a plain ole A-hole?

    A-holes come in all colors and Party affiliations too.

    And how dare you use ZZ Top in that kind of negative way...

    It isn’t one man. They are all around here. Most are just not as vocal about it.

    Oh and I don’t hate myself or whites in general. I see those on the right often saying that responsible and productive blacks should take responsibility for those that aren’t. Perhaps that is what I was doing today with whites. I don’t hate whites but I am embarrassed by those that act like the dude did today.

    Or to be honest, it might be that I just saw an opportunity to antagonize an asshole and took advantage of it.

    That's a motorcycle. I think he was referring to a car. Probably slammed and obnoxiously loud. Usually driven by young assholes.

    I see a side of you I hadn't seen before - righteous indignation at a fellow human being treated poorly. We need more of us stepping up in those situations. Good for you, and for reporting him.

    You sound pretty fired up so I’ll take your word for it. My only slight concern is how you have labeled this bad guy a racist.
    Seems that word is thrown around quite frequently these days and sometimes without any real justification.
    Maybe this was a bad guy having a bad day and he would have taken it out on anyone. I don’t know. I’m just not sure I’d call every a hole a racist.
